I I I I I I I I I I I ARTICLE I~PA YMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION Schedule of Values: 14.1. The schedule of values established as provided in paragraph 2.9 will serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of Application for Pay. ment acceptable to ENGINEER. Progiess payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed. Applicalion for Prognss Payme1U: 14.2. At least twenty days before each progress payment is scheduled (but not more often than once a month). CON. TRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for review an Appli- cation for Payment filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the Work completed as ofthe date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment npt incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing. the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale. invoice or other documentation warranting that OWl:lER has received' the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens. charges. security interests and encumbrances (which are hereinafter in these General Conditions referred to ,as "Liens") and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other. arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein. all of which will be sat- isfactory to OWNER. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement. CONTRACTOR's WlV'Tanly of Tille: 14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work. materials and equipment covered by any Appli- cation for Payment. whether incorporated in the Project or not. will pass to OWNER no later than th~ time of payment free and clear of all Liens. ' Review of Appliclllions for Prognss Payme1U: 14.4. ENGINEER will. within ten days after receipt of each Application for Payment. either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER. or return the Application to CONTRACTOR indi- cating in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to rec- ommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resuomit the Applica- tion. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Pay- ment with ENGINEER's recommendation. the amount rec- ommended will (subject to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph 14.7) become due and when due will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR. 14.5. ENGINEER's recommendation ,of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a 26 I I representation by ENGINEER to OWNER. based on ENGI- NEER's on-site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGI- NEER's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules that the Work has pro- gressed to the point indicated: that. to the best of ENGI- NEER's knowledge. information and belief. the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion. to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents. to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under paragraph 9. 10. and to any other qualifi- cations stated in the recommendation): and that CONTRAC- TOR is entitled to payment of the amouiu recommended. However. by recommending any such payment ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaus- tive or continuous on-site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities specitically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRAC- TOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. I I I I I I I 14.6. ENGINE~R's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by ENGINEER to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRAC- TOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled. I I /4.7. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if. in ENGINEER's opinion. il would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such pay- ment. or. because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests. nullify any such payment previously recommended. to such extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: I I 14.7.1. the Work is defecril'e. or completed Work has been damage? requiring correction or replacement. I 14,7.:!. [he Contract Price has been reduced by Writ- [en Amendment or Change Order. I 14,7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defee- ril'e Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph 13.14. or I 14.7.4, of ENGINEER's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 15.:!.\ through 15.:!.9 inclusive. I OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by ENGINEER because claims have been made against OWNER on account ofCONTRACTOR"s per- formance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have heen filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling I I OWNER to a set-off against the amount recommended. but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such action. ' Substantial Completion: 14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that ENGI- NEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter. OWNER. CONTRACTOR and ENGIN EER shall make an inspection ot'the Work to deter- mine the Status of completion. If ENGINEER does not con- sider the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to bWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to b~ completed or cor- rected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If. after considering such objec- tions. ENGINEER concludes that the \york is not substan- tially complete. ENGINEER will within fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate :to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing. stating the reasons therefor. If. after consideration of OWNER's objections. ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be com- pleted or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consider- ation of any objections from OWNER. Auhe time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substar.tial.Completion ENGI- NEER will deliver to OWNER and CON1;RACTOR a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security. operation. safety. maintenance. heat. utilities. insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform ENGINEER prior 10 ENGINEER's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion. ENGINEER's afore- said recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CON- TRACTOR until final payment. 14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CON- TRACTOR from the Work after the date of Substantial Com- pletion. but OWN ER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list. Partial Utilization: 14.10. Use by OWNER of any finished pan of the Work. which has specific.llly been identified in ~he Contract Doeu- 27 I I ments. or which OWNER. ENGINEER and CONTRAC- TOR agree constitutes a separately functioning and useable part of the Work that can be used by OWNER without sig- nificant interference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the Work. may be accomplished prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the follow. ing: I I 14.10.1. OWNER at any time may request CON- TRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CON- TRACTOR agrees. CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and ENGINEER that said part of the Work is substantially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. CON. TRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and ENGI- NEER in writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and substan- tially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certif. icate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request. OWNER. CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspec- tion of that part of the Work to determine its s.atus of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete. ENGINEER will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete. the provisions of para- graphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto. I I I I I I I 14.IO.:!. OWNER may at any time request CON- TRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to take over operation of any such part of the Work although it is not substantially complete. A copy of such request will be sent to ENGINEER and within a reasonable time there- after OWNER. CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion and will prepare a list of the items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final payment. If CONTRACTOR does not object in writ- ing to OWNER and ENGINEER that such part of the Work is not ready for separate operation by OWNER. ENGINEER will finalize the list of items to be completed or corrected and will deliver such list to OWNER and CONTRACTOR together with a written recommendation as to the division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security. operation. safety. maintenance. utilities. insur- ance. warranties and guarantees for that part of the Work which will become binding upon OWNER and CON- TRACTOR at the time when OWNER takes over such operation (unless they shall have otherwise agreed in writ- ing and so informed ENGINEER). During such operation and prior to Substantial Completion of such part of the Work. OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on said list and to complete other related Work. I I I I I I I I 14.10.3. No occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work will be accomplished prior'to compliance with the requirements of paragraph 5.15 in respect of property insurance. FintU Inspection: 14.11. Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete. ENGI- NEER will make a final inspection with OWNER and CON- TRACTOR and will notify CONTRACTOR in writing of all paniculars in which this inspection reve~s that the Work is incomplete or defecrive. CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to' remedy such defi- ciencies. . F intU Applieation for Paymelll: 14.12. After CONTRACTOR has completed all such cor- rections to the satisfaction of ENGINEER and delivered all maintenance and operating instructions. schedules. guaran- tees. Bonds. certificates of inspection. marked-up record documents (as provided in paragraph 6.19) and other docu- ments-ail as required by the Contract Documents. and after ENGINEER has indicated that the Work:is acceptable (sub- ject to the provisions of paragraph 14.16). CONTRACTOR may make application for final payment following the pro- cedure for progress payments. The final Application for Pay- ment shall be accompanied by all documentation called for in the Contract Documents. together with complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory' to OWNER) of all Liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. In lieu thereof and as approved by OWNER. CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or releases in full: an affidavit of CON- TRACTOR that the releases and receipts include all labor. services. material and equipment for which a Lien could be filed. and that all payrolls. material and equipment bills. and other indebtedness connected with the' Work for which OWNERorOWNER's property might in any way be respon- sible. have been paid or otherwise satisfied: and consent of the surety. if any. to final payment. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish a release or receipt in full. CON- TRACTOR may furnish a Bond or other 'collateral satisfac- tory to OWNER to indemnif~ OWNER a~ainst any Lien. Filllli Payment and Acceptlmce: ]4.13. If. on the basis of ENGINEER's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection. and ENGlNEER's review of the final Applic'ation for Payment and accompanying documentation-all as required by the Contract Documents.

ENGI- NEER will. within ten days after receipt of the final Appli- cation for Payment. indicate in writing ENGINEER's rec- ommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER for payment. Thereupon ENGINEER will give written notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of paragraph 14.16. 28 I I Otherwise. ENGINEER will return the Application to CON- TRACTOR. indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment. in which case CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Appli- cation.

Partial (skip) reflectorization (i.e. reflectorizing only a portion of a stripe) will not be allowed. ' C. USAGE: The Contractor shall sequence the work in such a manner as to allow the installation of markings in the final lane configuration at the earliest possible stage. Inappropriate or conflicting existing pavement markings shall be removed. When shifting of traffic necessitates removal of centerline, lane lines, or edge lines, all such lines shall be removed prior to, during, or immediately after any change so as to present the leaSt interference with traffic. I Before any change in traffic lane(s) alignment, marking removal equipment shall be present on the project for immediate use. If marking removal equipment failures occur, the equipment shall be repaired or replaced (including leasing equipment if necessary), so' that the removal can be accomplished without delay. Except for the final surface, markings on asphaltic concrete may be obliterated by an overlay course, when approved by the Engineer. When an asphaltic concrete overlay is placed for the sole purpose of eliminating conflicting markings and the inplace asphaltic concrete section will allow, said overlay will be eligible for payment only if designated in the Plans. Overlays to obliterate lines will be paid for only once and further traffic shifts in the same area shall be accomplished ~th removable markings. Only the minimum asphaltic concrete thickness required to cover lines (generally 60 IbJsq. yd. of Asphaltic Concrete "H") will be allowed. Excessive build-up will not be permitted. When an overlay for the sole purpose of eliminating conflicting markings is not allowed, the markings no longer applicable shall be removed in accordance with Subsection 656.02. The elimination of conflicting pavement markings by overpainting with paint or liquid asphalt is not acceptable. D. Raised pavement markers (RPMs) are required as listed below for all asphaltic concrete pavements before the roadway is open to traffic. When Portland Cement Concrete is an interm:ediate or final surface and is open to traffic, one calendar day is allowed for cleaning and drying before the installation of RPMs is required. ' rC-/t?
